Alright, they're back. With each new Call of Duty game comes a number of challenges which are outright astonishing... in the sense of astonishingly stupid. Anyone remember the Sit Rep challenge in MW2? Destroy 750 enemy equipment? Yeah, stuff like that. What are your most hated so far (if you even bother with challenges, that is)? Personally, I'm flabbergasted at the Hard-Wired perk challenge. I'm not even up to level 3 on that one, but I'm assuming the last level will be 200 kills. I can't imagine what Treyarch were thinking when they implemented this... Every time I see an enemy Counter-UAV coming up (which, obviously, won't ever come up in some lobbies as few people run it), I frantically try to suicide and switch to my MSMC laser hip-spray class that has Hard-Wired on it. I then rush into the action to get as many kills as possible, which - no surprise here - gets me killed rather often. I think on average I manage about two kills per CUAV. Hey, that's only... hm... 100 enemy Counter-UAVs. Seems reasonable. Not. Also, I've been trying for the Combat Axe long distance shot the past two hours or so. I've hit two long-range throws, but none of them counted. One was from one of the garages on Nuketown all the way into the enemy's back yard, hitting a sniper. Since that isn't considered a long distance by the game, apparently I'll have to learn how to throw my Axe over a building and magically hit someone since some of the longer sight lines in the game aren't long enough .

I for one love ridiculous challenges, maybe not the particular one you speak of though. If it helps I run CUAV all day every day.
Oh man SitRep challanges in MW2, so fun yet impossible. Yeah, it feels like sometimes it doesn't count towards your challenge, I discovered that with the shotgun OHKO challanges, I've blasted many a people with my '870 yet only have ONE OHKO. In MW3 I had ExCon pro, and I tried to get the mantling challenge by. . . mantling a lot, it seems there's a timer for anti-boosting measures.
I got All Pro with an RPD (oh laud that gun in MW2) in search by spraying at people across the map, not even ADS.

Try getting 250 one shots with the M1216, then come tell me about hard challenges.

Well, if Hard Wired challenge is like Assassin Pro challenge in MW3, it's actually not that hard compared to SitRep Pro in MW2 one. Primary Mastery sounds much more difficult.

Try getting 250 one shots with the M1216, then come tell me about hard challenges. I'm at ~225 OSKs with M1216 so far. It's such a pain to get OSKs with it and I have to keep flanking/cam ping just to get them. Even in Touch Football you can get a whopping 2-4 hitmarkers with it. So I've been doing it in core.

I have gold on the 870 and ksg, I want diamond. I shudder at the grind I will be committing to. I'm so bad at hardcore.

You can get OSKs in core with S12 and M1216 too, a little harder, but I think it's easier that way, since you won't be OSK everytime by any other weapon. And you can still get some hitmarkers with those shotguns sometimes even in Hard core. I already have ~225 OSK with the M1216 by playing Core. Question: Is the health on Hard core modes in this game changed to 50 health (half) or is it still 30 (miniscule) like the other CODs?

Combat knife wasn't too bad. I just unlocked ronin camo in FFA after taking an enemy weapon with my score at 14 and the highest score at 26. I went on a 16 kill rampage and won the game. One of my favorite moments so far in this game! My class was Lightweight, Ghost, Fast Hands, Ex Con, Dexterity, 2 concussion, and combat axe. Knifing is a pain though b/c I always miss, even when I am host. On the killcam screen it always shows me knifing where the enemy was and it is so frustrating. Overall I started to get the hang of it last night and I only need to get 3 more bloodthirsty medals to get gold camo for the knife.

haha rubixx that is creepy... that is my exact knifing class and im trying to get it gold as well. and guess what? 3 bloodthirsty medals away. voodoo shit going on here. incredibly frustrating tho i have been on soooo many 4 killstreaks and been killed midway way through the knifing animation for the 5th at least 10 times. rage central.

Haha would you look at that! Knifing is so nerfed in this game yet I had one of the biggest WTF moments yesterday. I came around a corner and go to lunge with the combat knife at a guy. Instead of me getting the kill, I am killed mid lunge by his panic knife commando style lunge from 5 yards away from me. I sat and stared at the screen in disbelief.

yeah a lot of that going on. my favourites are when my point blank slashes don't kill a guy and he mows me down. have a look at the killcam and it looks like i'm showing him the pretty camo on my knife right under his nose before he kills me. but still i'm having a good time with it tho

Try getting 250 one shots with the M1216, then come tell me about hard challenges. According to my combat record, 25% of my M1216 kills are one shots, which is surprising given how much shit everyone gives the gun.

Once more people have cuav unlocked you'll see more of them, especially in objective game modes.
The sitrep challenge from mw2 was one the most satisfying and rewarding challenges to complete, I did it twice.

Sometimes I get into a lobby where at least two enemies are using CUAV, so that's where I can get a bunch of kills. Also, I've reached level 4 now, which is only 75 kills, so the final amount required might actually 'only' be 100. Still bullshit in my opinion, but hey, it's better than 200. Also, I've got the other 4 green perks mastered by now, so I tend to equip Hard-Wired on every class. Less hassle of suicide -> switch class that way.

So I got the Riot Shield gold. Difficult but fun.
I got the crossbow and ballistic knife gold by just playing sticks and stones. Lots of fun.
Now I am trying to get the combat knife gold...I have all but one challenge left. I even did the ronin challenge (kill 5 people with thier own gun after first killing them with the combat knife)!
However, now I am stuck...it is so friggin hard to get 5 bloodthirsty medals with just this weapon... getting frustrated lol.
Sucks the challenges don't start until after kryptek... I had 4 games in a row earlier where I topped my team with a very positive K/D going knife only in objective gamemodes (GW) solo.

ok bby On a more serious note, I can't seem to remember any insane challenges in BlOps 1, anyone? Oh, the other day I shot FOUR FHJ-18 AA missles into an AGR and it DID NOT DIE. BBBBBUUUUUUUULLLLLLLL.

Ghost, LW, FH, Tac Mask, ExCon. 2 Concussion grenades and a lethal or Assault Shield if you prefer.

headshot challenge for the m8 AR. it has no damage modifier so the last bullet you fire has to hit the head.

It'd be so nice if they just made it so getting all the challenges was a reasonable goal. You could put 500 hours into the game chasing them all and still be nowhere near. I think I'll just make my goal to max prestige plus max prestige all the weapons.

As for the AGR thing, stun it with an EMP grenade, from full HP I shot it while it was stunned and ohko's it. Did you get the challenge done, Mousey? I have destroyed my 3rd AGR with a Stinger today, and still it didn't complete. I'd go so far as to say the challenge may be broken (at least on PC), or have some stupid hidden stipulation. I definitely did shoot all 3 AGRs with my Stinger and got the "AGR destroyed" message along with my 150 points. It'd be so nice if they just made it so getting all the challenges was a reasonable goal. You could put 500 hours into the game chasing them all and still be nowhere near. Well, completion of all challenges is definitely a long-term goal, but I'm still going to tackle it . At least I now got all of the perk challenges done (except for Awareness, which won't take much longer). Equipment challenges are a pain in the butt, though - the Sensor Grenade one has been keeping me busy the last couple of days. I'm all exceited every time Nuketown comes up since that's by far the fastest way to farm those kills.

Have you tried stunning it with an emp first? I did. Actually, the last one I destroyed took 2 Stinger missiles, so I used EMP -> 1st Stinger -> 2nd EMP -> 2nd Stinger.
